Delcor reveals its ultimate home style guide for autumn

  • Advertisement Feature

As the nights draw in and living rooms turn back into the place we actually want to be, Delcor’s new Look Book couldn’t have launched at a better time.

Built as an interiors-led piece rather than a straightforward product catalogue, it’s designed to show how one sofa, chair or footstool can be reinterpreted from home to home, season to season.

Think deep velvets, richer tones and pattern-led fabrics run right through it, all from a company that’s been handcrafting furniture in Northumberland since 1967.

With the Look Book now live to browse online, here’s everything you need to know if you’re planning an autumn refresh…

THE VELVET AND DEEP TONE LOOK

Velvet does a lot of the heavy lifting once the clocks go back.

Delcor - The Fulham Delcor - The Montrose

Fulham

In deep velvet, the Fulham turns calm and tailored; in a botanical pattern, it becomes playful and expressive.

SHOP FULHAM

Montrose

The Montrose leans into rich olive tones and flashes of violet, a combination that reads far more autumnal than anything pastel or seasonal cliché.

SHOP MONTROSE

Both pieces make the same point: swap a fabric rather than a whole sofa, and a room can shift from bright summer to something altogether cosier without losing its shape.

THE PATTERN AND TEXTURE LOOK

Pattern and texture earn their place too.

Georgian Wing

The Georgian Wing goes further still, shown here in a much-loved botanical design that turns a traditional high-back silhouette into something closer to a statement piece.

SHOP GEORGIAN WING

Charles

The Charles pairs textured floral fabric with a richly checked footstool, adding depth and contrast in exactly the way a darker room benefits from.

SHOP CHARLES

Neither is subtle, and neither needs to be; this is the section of the Look Book for anyone ready to let a single chair carry a room through the colder months.

THE CALM, COSY CLASSIC LOOK

Not every autumn look needs to shout.

Delcor - The Chelsea Delcor - The Albany

Chelsea

The Chelsea takes the same relaxed shape and makes it more adaptable. Choose a fixed back over loose cushions and it turns a touch more tailored, ready for the nights when the whole family’s in for dinner.

SHOP CHELSEA

Albany

Built around gently rolled arms and relaxed proportions, the Albany never asks for attention. Choose a quiet weave and it settles into a room without fuss, bringing the calmer end of the season’s palette into a space that already knows what it wants to be.

SHOP ALBANY

It’s proof that a cosy room and a considered one aren’t mutually exclusive.

THE STATEMENT COLOUR LOOK

For readers who want colour rather than cosiness, the Duke is the Look Book’s boldest statement.

Duke

Coral red meets turquoise, soft pink sits beside pattern, and its clean, elegant silhouette is built to let colour and pattern take the lead rather than fade into the background.

SHOP DUKE

As darker evenings make a room feel smaller, a piece like this does the opposite: it gives a space something to look at, and proves that the most memorable rooms are rarely the ones that played it safe.

MADE-TO-ORDER, NOT OFF-THE-SHELF

What really sets Delcor apart is the level of customisation on offer. Every sofa is made to order, so it can be tailored to suit your body, your lifestyle and your home. A seat depth that’s too shallow, a back that sits too low, a length that needs stretching or a filling that suits how you actually sit are all things to be considered rather than compromised on. It’s the difference between choosing a sofa and having one built around you.

Delcor

That approach starts long before the fabric is chosen. For nearly six decades, Delcor has been creating bespoke furniture entirely in Britain, hand-selecting every piece of timber at its own Northumberland wood shop and pairing skills perfected over generations with contemporary design. Kiln-dried hardwood frames, hand-tied spring systems and carefully chosen fillings all go into every piece, built to your precise specifications rather than a standard template. Each frame is crafted from solid hardwood beech, and comes backed by a 50-year guarantee, a detail that says plenty about how seriously Delcor takes quality.

Seat height, cushion comfort, fabric, leg style and proportions can all be adjusted to suit. It’s worth bearing in mind for anyone hoping to have something new in place before the season’s gatherings begin, since made-to-order furniture is built around you rather than kept in stock. As one customer puts it in the book, “the quality of workmanship is amazing”, a line that sums up the whole approach in six words.
